24943. Adulteration of tomato puree.     TJ. S. v. 30 Cases of Tomato Puree.    De¬
fault   decree   of  condemnation  and  destruction.    (F.   &  D.   no.   35488. 
Sample no. 35757-B.)
This case involved a shipment of tomato puree that contained worm debris.
On May 18, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 30 cases of tomato puree at Denver, 
Colo.,/consigned by the Weber Packing Corporation, Ogden, Utah, alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 12, 1935, 
from the State of Utah into the State of Colorado, and charging adulteration in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Fawn 
Brand Puree [or "Wright Quality Puree"] * * * Packed by Weber Packing 
Corporation   Ogden,  Utah."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part 
of a filthy vegetable substance.
On June 29, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GHEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
